A Record Of The Past.
A RECORD OF THE PAST .
On the 9 th of August , 1796—nearly three years after the foundation-stone was laid—the Wearmouth Bridge was formally opened for public use . The ribs were braced together and thrown over the river in ten days , the light scaffolding being immediately removed , so as . not to interfere with the navigation of the river ... The Provincial
Grand Lodge showed their , esteem for Brp ., Burdon , as the father and founder of the structure ^ by requesting him to act as Grand Master at the opening ' ;/ ceremony , and afterwards to rank as a Past Grand ; Mistfr ; . - 'At nine o'clock the Loyal Sunderland Volunteers met at-the ' Batteries , and fired a salute of twenty-one guns , after which they marched to the Phoenix Hall , where the officers of the Grand Lodge
and about three hundred brethren were assembled . The brilliant procession was then formed , Prince William of Gloucester vvalkifig' in' front of the Grand Master , Bro . Rowland Burdori-. ! Moving down Queen-street , Highstreet , and Bridge-street , the south end of the bridge was reached , a triumphal arch having been erected there , and a temporary building for the accommodation of Mrs .
Burdon , who was attended by an assemblage of the first female beauty and elegance in the country . The "brethren of the mystic tie" having transacted their formal business , Bro . Nesfield delivered an eloquent speech , the peroration being as follows : " Allow me , brethren , to call back to yourminds the object of our assemblage here to-day—the commemoration of this stupendous edifice—our wonder ,
our delight , our astonishment ; an honour to our art ; the ornament of our country at large ; the pride and boast of this great county in particular . Exposed , by its aerial situation , to the rude shock of the tempest , and the fury of contending winds , may it still rest firm on its foundations ,
unshaken'by the conflict cf the jarring elements , unimpaired by the ravages of devouring time ! May it in our days , stand a glorious monument of British taste and naftoriai-grandeur ; and may it in after ages maintain its proud eminence , permanent and durable as the work of the immortal Roman . "
More durable than brass the frame , Which here I consecrate to fame ; Higher than pyramids that rise , With royal pride , to brave the skies ; Nor years , though numberless the train , Nor flight of seasons , wasting rain , Nor winds , that loud in tempests break ,
Shall e ' er its firm foundation shake . At the conclusion of the oration , " grand honours ' - ' -werc given , after which Bro . Burdon delivered an impressive address , and the heralds proclaimed with speaking trumpets that the work was well constructed and fit for public use . 'his was the signal for a shout of joy from the assembled multitude , computed at about 80 , 000 people ; the Lincoln "iilitia , who were drawn up on the Bridge , fired three
volleys , and the ships in the river discharged their ordnance . Ihe procession was then re-formed and marched to chapel , Here an earnest and appropriate discourse was delivered r < rn the words , " Now therefore , our God , we thank Thee nd praise Th y glorious name . " General festivity and voicing was the order of a truly red letter day in the * "nals of Sunderland . —Sunderland Duilii Echo , August Jn < l , 1879 .
at « r ° \ ^' " ' T- Boord , M . P ., opened a bazaar 1 Woolwich on Monday , in aid of the fund of St . Thomas ' s Rectory .
